Working with Requirements in Sales and Distribution Processing Availability Check

Performing transfer of requirements is dependent on a number of factors. They determine whether and how requirements should be transferred and if they should be checked against planned requirements. The transfer of requirements in sales can be switched on or off by transaction as required. For example, you can switch off the transfer of requirements for inquiries and quotations, whereas you can switch it on for sales orders and deliveries.
